This striking suite features intricately designed lyre-back silhouettes, a hallmark of neoclassical design inspired by ancient Greek and Roman motifs. Each chair is expertly crafted with a finely proportioned frame, finished in a rich ebonized tone that provides a dramatic backdrop for the exquisite gilt accents. The lyre-form backs are adorned with delicate vertical brass rods, evoking the strings of a classical instrument, while circular rosettes and gilt medallions add depth, symmetry, and decorative richness.
The craftsmanship is evident in every element—from the precise carving and joinery to the harmonious balance of materials. The chairs are upholstered in a refined neutral fabric, offering both comfort and versatility while complementing the bold black and gold palette. Generously padded seats ensure these chairs are as functional as they are visually stunning, making them ideal for long, elegant dinners or formal entertaining.
Supported by slender, tapered legs with subtle gilt detailing and capped feet, the chairs maintain a light, graceful profile despite their strong architectural presence. The cohesive design across all twelve pieces creates a unified, luxurious look when placed around a grand dining table, yet each chair retains its own sculptural appeal.
Perfect for collectors and discerning homeowners, this set of 12 Maison Jansen dining chairs is ideal for those seeking luxury neoclassical seating, French designer furniture, or a statement-making formal dining room set. Their rarity, scale, and design pedigree make them a standout investment in both style and value.

Bring home the legacy of Maison Jansen—where classical inspiration, refined materials, and masterful artistry come together to create furniture of enduring beauty and prestige.
